Overview
- Tournament leaders detailed new steps that respond to player complaints about constant filming behind the scenes at the Australian Open in January.
- Roland-Garros will add no new backstage cameras and will keep private, camera-free areas, and it will allow wearables such as Whoop that had been banned at other majors.
- Wimbledon will tell players in advance which zones are under media surveillance and will review every captured clip before it airs.
- The U.S. Open will mark clear no-camera zones and signpost any areas with cameras, and rights-holders will not have direct access to live feeds.
- The push follows viral footage of Coco Gauff venting off court and public concerns from stars like Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic, with the WTA backing calls for privacy as broadcasters still seek more access and players ask for control over their own content.
